Antique Pewter Inkwell (Small)
The lost art of letter writing is revived with this beautiful pewter inkwell. With two inkwells and a central space for pens or cards, this old world piece with its floral motif is a stunning addition to any desk or table. Reminiscent of the many opera scenes such as Rossini’s Il Barbiere de Siviglia, where a letter is a significant part of the plot.

History
Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia
Its story of two young lovers, an elderly guardian who wants the girl for himself, and Figaro, the resourceful barber of the title make Gioachino Rossini’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia (1816) one of opera’s most beloved comedies. At the end of the first act, the leading characters, confused by what’s going on, sing about their feeling of hearing the sound of an anvil being hammered inside their heads—a turn of phrase taken literally in director Bartlett Sher’s hit Met production.
